BetterRTX is the world’s first Minecraft Bedrock Ray Tracing shader mod! It is a communal effort to fix some of Minecraft RTX’s persistent and worst bugs, implement improvements to the engine, and add tons of relevant, new features.

Render Dragon Features for Creators
Introducing new experimental cross-platform graphics features for creators. We are making these available early as a technical preview to get feedback as we develop. Performance and visual fidelity will improve over time.

Features included in this first technical preview include:
PBR materials – blocks and entities
Primary lighting
Shadows (sun & moon)
Bloom
Tone mapping
Atmospheric Scattering

Minecraft is a sandbox video game developed by the Swedish video game developer Mojang Studios. The game was created by Markus "Notch" Persson in the Java programming language. Following several early private testing versions, it was first made public in May 2009 before fully releasing in November 2011, with Jens Bergensten then taking over development. Minecraft has since been ported to several other platforms and is the best-selling video game of all time, with 200 million copies sold and 126 million monthly active users as of 2020.

$BetterRTX v1.3 is here! Part II BetterRTX 1.3 - Full Release Join the Minecraft RTX Discord group for more information! https://discord.gg/eKVKD3c BetterRTX website https://bedrock.graphics/ Finally, after a few rounds of experimental releases, the next major BetterRTX update is now released! This is one of the largest updates weve published in a while, completely revamping the art direction and a bunch of other features too! We even have a few new bug fixes that werent initially included in any of the experimental releases too! This update is already available from within the installer, as well! With that said, heres the changelog: RT, Lighting and Shading Increased explicit light intensity to make torches, lanterns, etc. brighter. Held items and first person hand no longer cast shadows from point lights. Increased the global maximum exposure value to improve visibility in dark areas. Enchanted items and armour will now emit light on the surrounding environment. Held items and player hand are no longer visible in reflections and shadows in first person. Emission from emissive entities now supports colour tinting. With this change XP orbs should now emit coloured light! Sun and Shadow Reconfigured the moon colour and intensity. Fixed low resolution shadows during movement. Reconfigured the sun colours and intensities during the day. Tweaked the radius of the sun to better match the original demos. Smoothed the transition between sun and moon light during sunrise/sunset. Volumetric Lighting Improved the intensity of rainbows. Reduced fog intensity during rainfall. Enabled a static global illumination fog for more immersive emission. Improved the way fog scattering is distributed with respect to the sun. This should make it appear less biased towards the sun/moon. Atmosphere Increased the cloud render distance much further. Adjusted the render distance fade start and end ranges. Re-introduced cloud shadows at a lower opacity than vanilla. Fixed an issue that caused a dark spot to appear at the top of the night sky. Reduced direct night sky intensity, while preserving indirect sky lighting. The sky should appear darker but still emit sufficient light! Water Reconfigured water parallax values. Nether Adjusted Nether exposure configuration. Improved Nether ambient light application. The End Made scattering and absorption values in The End configurable through resource packs. Made End sunlight and sky colours configurable through the distance fog colour value in resource packs. Post Processing Adjusted the saturation of the tone map. Implemented an improved bloom technique. Fixes Fixed Banner textures being offset by 1 pixel. Improved the efficiency of the spectator mode fix. Fixed an issue with incorrect parameters passed to the denoiser. Fixed attachable items (bows, crossbows, etc.) and doors being darkened. Fixed an issue that prevented the irradiance cache from updating 75% of the time. Fixed blocks incorrectly refracting light by skipping alpha-blending surfaces with 0% opacity. This should prevent the transparent parts of blocks like Copper Grates and Frogspawn from behaving like glass. #minecraft #BetterRTX #minecraftrtx #minecraftraytracing #minecraftbedrock$
